Mom, a twin herself, has two boys, two girls

WYNNEWOOD, Pa. - A woman gave birth to two sets of identical twins — two boys and two girls — a rare occurrence even among quadruplets.

Geana and Kurt Morris, who also have a 2-year-old son, welcomed the four babies starting at 4:10 a.m. Friday.

The twins were born at 29 weeks gestation and are doing well, said officials at Lankenau Hospital in Wynnewood.

Firstborn James Russell weighed 3 pounds; Robert Wayne weighed 3 pounds, 11 ounces; Anna Rose weighed 3 pounds, 9 ounces; and Ella Kathleen weighed 2 pounds, 7 ounces.

Dr. Andrew Gerson, who delivered the babies, put the odds of such an occurrence at about one in 1 million quadruplet births.

There was another twist: Geana Morris, 34, who is also a twin, delivered the children on her birthday. "It's a very special 'birth' day for me," she said.
